Roger won the French Open! Omg. Amazing! He now has a career slam and has equalled Pete Sampras's record of 14 slams. He's fought for this so hard, after struggling and tears and hideous crushing losses and playing like a mook over the last twelve months. He beat Robin Sodapop of Sweden in straight sets 61 76 64.

Shine on, Rogelio.

Wasn't it fabulous?! Though he gave me the jitters when he was serving for the match and he let it go to deuce!

It was so sweet that they had Agassi there to give him the cup, with Agassi knowing exactly how it feels to bag that last one :-)

That last game was really tense, and I was thinking he was going to get broken. He must've been so under pressure, it's incredible he managed it so well.

Having Agassi there was just lovely!

Yeah, I thought he might lose the serve and go to another tiebreak too. He admitted how tough it was in the interviews, saying he was just hoping Soderling would make 4 mistakes, because he wasn't sure he could hit a winner :-(
